MACHINERY FOR SECURING LININGS TO JARHCAPS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 387,808, dated August14, 1888.

Application filed Muy 1Q, 1885. Serial No. 165,213. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom t may con-cern:

Be it knoivn that I, FRANK PERRY, a citizen of the 'United States, and aresident of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have invented certain lm provements in Machinery for Securing Linings in Caps of Jars, of whichthe following is a specific-ation.

The object of my invention is to construct a machine for rapidly andfirmly securing linings to sheet-metal caps of jars, as fully describedhereinafter.

My improvements relate mainly to the mechanisin for feeding the capswith the linings under a revolving disk, which holds the cap while aforming-tool spins the bevel on the cap over the edge of the lining.

In the accompanying drawings, Fig. lis a rear view of my improvedmachine With the feed-guide removed; Fig. 2, a transverse section on theline l 2, Fig. l; Fig. 3, a sectional plan on the line 3 4, Fig. l; Fig.4, an enlarged detached view, Fig. 5, a detached view on a smallerscale, and Figs. G and 7 are sectional perspective views of the capbefore and after passing through the machine, respectively.

A is the bed-plate of the machine supported by suitable legs ,and inhangersbbsuspended from the under side of the bed A turns a shaft, B,which is provided with a drivingpulley, c.

To the upper side of the bed A is secured a frame, D, at the top ofwhich are bearings d d for a shaft, E, having fast and loose pulleys ce. Aln suitable bearings, f f, at the side of the frame D is averticalshaft, F, which is driven from the shaft E by bevel gear-wheels g g.This shaft F turns With, but is free to slide in, the bevel-wheel g',for a purpose described hereinafter.

At the lower end of the shaft F is a holdingdisk, k, which fits snuglyinto the cap zr, as shown in Fig. e, and holds said cap in positionduring the spinning up of the metal around the lining. This holder h, asshown in Fig. 4, is composed of the disk 2, between which and aclamp-plate, 3, is held a rubber ring, 4, a set-screw, 5, serving tosecure the plate and disk together. The rubber ring it rests on thelining of the cap and forces the cap onto the disk G, which is free torevolve in the hed a', and forms, in effect, part of the cap-holder. 5oAt the side of the shaft F is a shaft, G,secured to a slide, H, which isguided in Ways i i', attached to the bed A of the machine, and on thisshaft G is a disk, m, having on its hub a spur-Wheel, Z, which mesheswith a pinion, Z', 55 on the shaft F. The spur-Wheel and pinion do notmesh closely, but allow for a limited movement of the slide H from andtoward the shaft E, as explained hereinafter.

rPhe shaft B is geared to a vertical shaft, I, 6o adapted to a bearing,k, on the frame D, and to a similar bearing on a bracket, la', attachedto the under side of the bed-plate A. Secured to this shaft I is aspur-pinion, mwhich drives a large spur-Wheel,p, on the under side of arotary table, J, the driving being effected through the medium of anintermediate gear- Wheel, q, on a stud secured to the base A. 0n thetable J are placed the caps to be lined.

On the shaft I and above the gear-wheel n 7o is a cam, s, which acts ona rock-arm, s', pivoted to the frame D and connected to a slidingfeed-bar, K, through the medium of a proA jecting finger, t, and linkt', (shown in Fig. 3,) the finger being secured to and forming a rigidcontinuation of the arm s', and the link being pivoted to the outer endof the finger and to the feed-bar K. This feed bar K is guided insuitable bearings on the bed Aand has at one end a hooked projection, u,the edge al of So which bears against an eccentric-guide, L, which is`secured to the stud w, on which the table J revolves, the guide beingadjustable on said stud.

Pivoted to the bar K is a segmental spring- 8 5 pawl, e, which formswith the projection u a segmental recess for the reception of the cap tobe lined, the paivl o being pivoted to slip past the cap on its returnmovement.

On the shaft B is a cam, llLWhich acts on a 9o pin, 102, projecting froma vertical bar, N, guided in ways on the frame D. This bar N has an arm,N', through the end of which passes an enlarged portion of the shaft F,this enlarged portion of the shaft being threaded for the reception oftwo screw-collars, w', on each side of the arm, so that the shaft is confined vertically to the arm, but is allowed to revolve freely therein,the screw-collars being adjusted in order to raise or lower the shaft F.A spring, y, secured at one end to the under side of the bed A and atits opposite end to a pin on the bar N, tends to keep the pin to2 alwaysin contact with the face of the cam M, the latter acting on the rod N,tending to force the disk h into the cap x.

At the end of the shaft B is a bevel-wheel, z, gearing into aYbevel-wheel, e', on a vertical shaft, P, having its bearings in boxesin the bed A, and having at the top a cam, Q,which acts against ananti-friction roller, z2, carried by the forked end of a pin, H', on theslide H.

The slide H is made in two parts, the rear part carrying the pin H abovealluded to, and the front part forming a bearing for the lower end ofthe shaft G, on which, immediately above the bearing, is the presserdiskm, a setscrew, 8, being carried by the forward part of the block andbearing against the front face of the rear portion of the same, so thatthe forward part of the block can be adjusted to v any desired distancein advance of the rear part of the same,and is free to move verticallyindependently of said rear part, the head of the set-screw 8 sliding onthe face of the latter. This vertical movement of the forward part ofthe slide H is effected by means of a rod, S, guided in the table Abeneath said forward part of the slide and acted on by a clamp, T,secured to the shaft B of the machine. Between the inner end of the pinH and a bearing on the rear part of the slide H is a rubber or otherelastic washer, 9, which serves to press the pin H rearward and-maintain the roller z2 in contact with the face of the cam Q, thiswasher also permitting alimited movement of the slide independently ofthe pin.

The caps, with their linings loosely laid in them, as shown in Fig. 6,are placed on the disk J, and as it rotates are carried one afteranother by the cam L into the path of the projection u, which as itreciprocates feeds the caps in succession under the shaft F, the capsbeing deposited on the disk 6. The shaft F being then presseddown by theaction of the cam M on the rod N, the disk h presses the cap against thedisk, clamps the llining and cap together, and at the same time causesthe rotation'of the cap and lining at a high rate of speed. The disk m,which is beveled, as shown in Fig. 4, is forced against the periphery ofthe cap at x', owing to the action of the cam Q, upon the slide H.

Owing to the bevel of the edge of the liningdisk in the cap, thepresser-disk will naturally have a tendency to rise as it presses thesheet metal of the cap against said beveled edge of thelining, thissliding movement of the disk being the one best calculated to effect thespinning of the cap over the edge of the lining without buckling orbreaking the sheet metal of which the cap is composed. In order,however, to impart a positive rising movement to The rod K is restoredto its original position.

by the cam s and receives another cap with loose lining, the spring-pawlo yielding as the` rod is retracted in order to pass the cap x, which isbeing subjected to the action of the disk m..

The shaft F and the devices carried thereby are then raised by thespring y and the disk h lifted out of the cap x, so that as the rodfeeds another cap under the shaft F the lined cap is pushed out of theway.

I claim as my invention- 1. The combination, in a machine for liningsheet-metal caps, of the clamping-disks and means for rotating the samewith a pressingtool having a beveled acting face, said tool beingmovable from and toward the cap, but being also free to move in adifferent plane, whereby it slides upon the cap while pressing the sameupon the beveled edge of the lining, all substantially as specified.
